Four Franck Muller Sport Watches to Flaunt

Four Franck Muller Sport Watches to Flaunt - Cortina Watch Malaysia

In the competitive arena of fine watchmaking, as in life, everyone loves a winner. And one would be hard pressed to find a closer parallel to the high-stakes, high-performance world than the realm of luxury sports watches.

Given so, what boxes should you tick when considering a performance-driven wrist accoutrement worthy of a podium finish at your next watch GTG? Performance, naturally, takes precedence. From the unwavering reliability and precision of the watch’s mechanical engine to its robustness, nothing short of top-tier specifications will justify a place on your wrist.

Yet, raw horological muscle should never come at the expense of aesthetic finesse. A truly exceptional sports watch must combine an unmistakably athletic character with refined design, cutting-edge materials, top-notch construction, and meticulous finishing.

With these criteria in mind, here are four standout recommendations—truly unique sports watches that blend performance and avant-garde style—from the undisputed heavyweight of independent watchmaking, Franck Muller.

Vanguard Beach

Franck Muller introduced the Vanguard collection as a more youthful expression of its iconic Cintrée Curvex silhouette in 2013. While the latter’s famously curvaceous tonneau-shaped profile continues to distinguish the Vanguard models, it has been beefed up and paired with newfangled materials and bold designs, amongst other features, for greater wrist presence.

The Vanguard Beach collection from 2023 brings fun and dynamism to the table. As the name implies, the watches are perfect for sunny beach escapades, clad in fiery red, ocean blue, and summer green. While expressing laid-back caprice, the watches’ livery belies their technical sophistication. They are powered by a high-performance automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve, and their glass-fibre composite cases are crafted through a process of manipulating molten glass, dyeing it in colour baths, and compressing treated sheets into blocks for precision machining. The result is a hardy, lightweight case with a wood-grain-like texture that evokes waves rushing to the shore.

Vanguard Racing Krypton Grande Date Chronograph

A watch that evokes the thrill of racing through neon-lit city streets, the Vanguard Racing Krypton is an eye-catching and technically mesmerising beast. The collection offers two models—a three-hand version, and a Grande Date Chronograph with a large date display. Naturally, we gravitate towards the latter for its added features, which accentuate the spirit of the watch.

Measuring 44 mm by 53.7 mm, the Vanguard Racing Krypton Grande Date Chronograph is no wallflower. It commands attention with its heft and forged-carbon case, whose fibres are moulded and intertwined with phosphorescent green or blue LumiNova pigments. The effect continues on the partially openworked dial—applied, hand-painted indices reveal glimpses of the chronograph counters and date display. Powering the watch is a reliable in-house automatic movement, offering chronograph and big-date functions with a semi-instant jumping mechanism, along with a 42-hour power reserve. The calibre is also finely decorated with Geneva stripes, circular graining, a 24k gold bath, and rhodium plating, amongst other details.

Vanguard Damascus Steel Racing

Imagine a mash-up between a souped-up grand tourer dashboard and a samurai sword, and you’ll come close to what the Vanguard Damascus Steel Racing brings to the wrist.

At the heart of its allure is a case forged from Damascus steel. Revered for its strength, beauty, and anti-magnetic properties, it is crafted by welding together multiple layers of contrasting steel alloys, forming a resilient structure with swirling, one-of-a-kind patterns. This mesmerising material also shapes the meticulously cut hour numerals on the skeletonised dial, where the seconds counter takes centre stage—like a car’s instrument panel—set against a lattice of wheels and gears from its automatic movement. The result is a watch that radiates both intrigue and excitement.

Franck Muller has just one nautically inspired sports collection in its repertoire—the Skafander. Named after “scaphander”, an old term for a diving suit, the Skafander debuted in 2018 and remains one of the few dive watches housed in a tonneau-shaped case.

Like the Vanguard, its profile draws on Franck Muller’s Cintrée Curvex shape, though reimagined almost entirely. The multi-part case features a bold bezel engraved with hour markers, and a middle case with pushers that set the dive counter—uniquely positioned on the dial rather than the bezel, as with conventional dive watches. The Skafander 43 Boutique Exclusive, available in titanium, or blackened titanium and sized at 43 mm by 52 mm (smaller than the original’s 46 mm by 57 mm), retains the performance-driven qualities of its predecessors—100 m water resistance and an automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve—while gaining collectability through an exclusive spectrum of colourways spanning canary yellow to electric blue.
